Shirley I love it!! I have done things for my washer and dryer...but never thought of putting another color...great idea..
|
I like all of yours and what a different take with the triangles! I did a scrappy and it lost its affect. I like the center block to all be the same so the small squares make a pattern. Fun and fast!

those are awesome quilts, Love doing D9P! if you want only 3 colors, be sure your center block is the 'different color'

I'll try to attach a picture.[ATTACH=CONFIG]281650[/ATTACH] I did most of the blocks while on vacation in the summer of 2010 using my old mechanical machine, Martelli Rotary Cutter, small cut & press board and 2 square rulers--6.5" and 12.5". Hubby & the kids fuss when I make them leave extra space to haul my mini, mobile quilt studio but they get over it--LOL.

GREAT IDEAS that everyone has posted!!!

Ok, I didn't understand half of what you said you did, but this is one of the prettiest quilts I've ever seen! I LOVE the stars. Love the colors too, but the stars will jump out at you. I will reread your post until hopefully I can see what you are talking about. This is wonderful!
I did mine more like this version: http://lynbrown.com/wp-content/uploa...Gen-Quilt2.pdf but I combined at least 4 regular D9P sub-units with the twisted sub-units to make each star and I purposefully made each star different. I like the secondary pattern that emerges when the center square in the original 9 patch unit is different than the corners as whinnytoo mentioned earlier. |
I just found this has changed.Havent been able to get on for awhile ,so busy.I dont like it but maybe after I have been on for awhile I will get use to it.I just don't like change.

I am going to try to attach a picture. If it works, it is of the d9p I just finished, with 3 fabrics.
Okay, if this works....IF....I have posted 2 pictures. If not....well, I tried. More to learn, I guess. |
Guess I have more to learn. :(
|
So glad you asked this question, and even happier about the great answers, thank you all, and my "to-do" list just had one more thing added! piecefully the old one
